Harassment because of age is illegal under the Equality Act 2010.
 The following are some examples of activities that might constitute harassment related to age: 
  • direct verbal abuse or comments about age that make a person feel uncomfortable, intimidated or degraded 
  • unjustified exclusion of a person because of their age ageist jokes 
  • using inappropriate language, related to age, to describe someone (e.g. ‘over the hill’, ‘wet behind the ears’)
